Does anyone on the list have experience with Apple's iPod?
I have used audio CDs with 22.1 kHz 16-bit sound files for field playbacks
using a portable CD player. It would be even more convenient to play sound
straight off of a portable hard disk. My concern is that the iPod, and
similar beasts, are advertised as MP3 players. I am hesitant to compress my
bird song stimuli into an MP3 format as I assume the compression algorithms
are designed for human ears.
I'd appreciate any advice on the issue of using the iPod in field conditions
and on the use of MP3 sound files as stimuli.
Best regards, Scott.
